Research Interests

Fifteen years ago, you could find Interaction Designers – if you traveled to Silicon Valley, or maybe a few select Universities across the world. Today, the profession supports a global network numbering in the thousands. Many of the professions leaders have backgrounds in related disciplines, such as Industrial Design, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Science, Communication Design, Cognitive Psychology & Anthropology (to name a few). While formal Interaction Design qualifications are rare in industry veterans, the increasing trend in hiring is to require formal Interaction Design qualifications from new graduates. Interaction Design is at a tipping point: the field has rapidly emerged from collaborations between the aforementioned disciplines, into a profession that now seeks formal structures, definitions and career pathways. This situation provides the impetus for my research. This research explores the rapidly forming field of Interaction Design, and seeks to answer the following questions: * What qualities and capacities do Interaction Designers deem essential to their practice? * How can this knowledge inform academic and professional roles in the development of this emerging field?
